One of the key principles of money is ‘opportunity cost.’ It means that when I buy something, I have to give up something else in return. We think we buy because we need something, but we often forget that we could buy something else instead. We rarely consider ‘opportunity cost’ when making a purchase. We do not compare other values against our needs. Buying something means giving up something else, but we often don’t realize it. When we spend money, we should also consider the ‘opportunity cost’; yet, in reality, we aren’t trained to do so. By making a purchase, we bypass the value comparison that may not offer any additional benefits. Maybe it’s because we lack knowledge, or perhaps the idea isn’t appealing. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A truck carrying a cow was overturned in an accident on the highway. The cow stuck in the car was on its way to the slaughterhouse. Should you rescue the cow? Is the rescue good or evil? Is the good you are doing good? If the purpose is good, what does it matter? No, what about the opposite? - Joseph’s “just my confusion”
